Trump's transition woes

In this podcast we discuss Iran's response to being put on notice with an excerpt from foreign minister of Iran Javed Zarif. Further conversations about how Iran is being depicted in western media and commentary as a foe for propaganda purposes. Questions to ask ourselves; where does the real danger lie? Can we call the conflicts in the middle east "wars" when the opponents (Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Yemen)  are so much weaker than the superpowers claiming as much. What kind of match can we call a war in today's world?
